What part of it doesn’t? Besides the massive banner added the bottom of the screen, everything looks like it’s the default. That icon in the top-left corner comes preinstalled. The search engine is still the default. The only customization I see here is an extra theme and a couple of add-ons.

And the AI Company Man told me I needed to scan my face into an orb to do this! At least they used the word “governance” a bit and offered me a pittance for the brave new opportunity.

This is something new. What’s under the 3-dot menu? And to cover our bases, can you look through your browsing history to determine where this copy of Firefox came from?

“thought-provoking stories” has been part of Mozilla’s Firefox for a while, originally tied to their Pocket branding. I guess Pocket is dead but sadly not this part of it.

There seems to be something a little… off here. VP looks like it’s a tech demo for a patent held by another company.

The new VPN service is operated by the American company VP.NET LLC, which in turn is owned by TCP IP Inc

And TCP IP (a terrible name for people who want to look it up) is exclusively proud of owning a patent it thinks is worth a lot of money. From its site:

We own the intellectual property that enables hardware-guaranteed network privacy—addressing a critical market gap worth $562 billion by 2032.

To me, it sounds like the CEO is trying to sell the company itself as a product to a larger investor. And that other privacy considerations, like jurisdiction, never factored into this.

Then I got to this part of the article, which seems to confirm those suspicions.

The idea to use SGX as a privacy shield comes from Andrew Lee, the chief privacy architect at VP.net. As the founder of Private Internet Access, which he sold to Kape a few years ago, Lee has a long history in the VPN space. However, he believes this new concept is a breakthrough.

So this company is run by somebody who sold out before.

And you personally believe the people manipulating Trump have names like…

So the people you were actually referring to were…

Trump is a muppet being played out, people above him feed him king vibes to play him out. They manipulate his narcism for their profit. Elon and the young kids that are working doge are played out.

You mean people like Curtis Yarvin, Peter Thiel, white supremacist Stephen Miller, and the Project 2025 team, right?

Because people could read your post and think you were talking about Jews.

I gotta say, knowing it’s a bit (but based on IRL testing) makes it even better. It’s like SomethingAwful met Mr Robot

All I can tell you is what I read on the linked page because I haven’t analyzed the bill itself.

Impact on ALL Canadians:

Companies must keep records of your personal data under secret government orders, with blanket immunity for privacy violations for handing over more than they should.

Looks like the original post disappeared.

Right before it was, OP claimed in a comment that part of their post was a joke. Part of me hopes this is an exercise in technically correct creative writing, and based on their account…

what I would give to be you

It’s your right until they ban it

Is there no such thing on Android already?

Usually, Apple devices are limited on features, but I’ve never seen an Android app pull this off.

Watch out for Bill C2. It requires companies to collect data on you (Canadian citizens) and shields them from “accidentally” oversharing it.

It’s difficult to identify cops when they hide their name, badge number, and face. And when they get extra, pro bono legal support when challenged.

And those are just the developments from this year that I can recall.

Edit: this was supposed to be a reply to @NoiseColor@lemmy.world but either my app broke or I’m half blind

What are you assuming about my identity, and declaring about your own identity, that makes you uniquely able to speak about affairs in China, while telling others to shut up about it?

It uses Meta’s Private Processing technology

Ooh what’s that, is it like homomorphic encryption where they can process your data without seeing the input or output?

Meta says users can “direct AI to process their requests,” like for AI chat summaries, using Private Processing. If they do, the system won’t “retain access to user messages once the session is complete” so that a potential attacker can’t access them after the fact, according to the company.

Never mind. It’s utter bullshit. It’s a pinkie promise that they’ll take your data and totally not keep it.

Mark already told us people who trust him are “dumb fucks”

What are you assuming about my identity, and declaring about your own identity, that makes you uniquely able to speak about affairs in China, while telling others to shut up about it?

(context: From what I see, you joined this thread to praise China’s healthcare.)

If only there were politicians that upheld the Constitution
